Hello everybody,
After years of searching, someone I met through Ebay has given me the url to this site and it seems I've finally found a place where other Wing Commander fanatics come together to chat. If it wasn't 4:30 in the morning, I'd be jumping up and down in excitement (you get the idea).
I'll introduce myself briefly. Wing Commander 2 was the first game I ever played on the computer. I believe I was 10 or 11 years old at the time (I am 20 yrs old now). Needless to say over time I grew to enjoy it and I own all of the games and almost all of their respective strat guides. I do have all the novels as well, but I've only purchased them within the last year and I have only had the chance to read the first 4 at this point.
I've literally played Wing Commander's 1 and 2 all the way through about 40 times or more each. This could be explained by saying that Wing Commander was one of the only games I had at the time and I had much free time to play. My fascination with the details of the Wing Commander realm carried beyond the computer game. Beginning in the summer before my 8th grade, I created an RPG which was an immediate hit amongst my group of friends. Over the years I revised and organized it, but still it was successful. It wasn't until my closest Wing Commander friends and I had to prepare for college following my 12th grade, that we decided to call it quits.
Since then I have continued my enjoyment of the Wing Commander universe by writing novels. Last year I officially copyrighted my first story, entitled "Loyalty and Truth". Currently I am approximately 50% complete with my second novel, which will be titled "Beloved Torment". At my current pace, I expect the story to be completed by the end of the summer, and I plan to put in for a copyright a month or two after that.
I'm sure nothing I've done is new to you guys. I've skimmed some of the posts here and it seems a number of you guys have done similar things. And your attention to the random trivia in the game brings comfort to me, since now I know I'm not the only Wing Commander nerd there is, heh heh. I used to know literally just about every tiny piece of trivia, but it's been quite a few months now since I last played a Wing Commander game, and no doubt a few bolts and screws are loose here or there. I was hoping this place would help me tighten them all again.
Finally, I'm also trying to complete the Wing Commander CCG set. I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to trade. If anyone is willing, I'll let you know what I need.
Many thanks,
